The U.S. Department of Transportation is pursuing policy changes aimed at reducing regulatory burdens, according to recent statements made by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The department’s actions are focused on rolling back emissions rules and eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Duffy articulated that the administration, under former President Trump’s leadership, is determined to remove what it considers to be excessive regulations. These efforts are said to be in response to regulations perceived as stifling economic growth and increasing costs for American families, while also advancing what the administration describes as a “far-left agenda” over pragmatic solutions.
